Sounds strange huh?

Well I've been over filled for the past 6 weeks and had to resort to eating Soup, soup and nothing but soup. Every time I would try a solid I'd slime and vomit. It go to a point where I got so depressed I'd dream of real food. Granted I was loosing a good amount of weight but thats not the reason I got the band to ONLY eat soup or liquids.

Needless to say I got a whopping 2cc's removed today. My Doc said my previous restriction level was perfect, I said sure if ALL I wanted was SOUP!!!

He was willing to unfill me did it under Fluro so he knew how much to take out, I felt immediate relief. It was like a weight was lifted off my chest. I really didnt realize that for 6 weeks I was living with this tightness in my chest and constand slimage in the back of my

throat.

I can eat now and not be scared. I am concerned about weight loss slowing down or stopping so I just need to be more mindfull of what actually goes in my mouth now. No more high calorie Soups just to meet my daily calorie intake.

I feel good now

Yay glad to hear it; maybe when you start to get fills again have him go VERY slow and small since your band only holds 4cc.

Oh yes, I know exactly how you felt! I have had to have fill removed 3x. 2x it was the whole fill for a month. One time it was just 1/2 cc. Right now, I am in maintenace, and have nothing in my band,a s I had a slip. (which you should be glad you didn't get).

Just keep up with what you are doing, you should be fine. Karen
